OPERATION Toric has made two more arrests, with a 32-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman to face court following investigations into an aggravated burglary in Phillip on September 8, a car theft from a dealership in Fyshwick on September 9 and a fuel drive-off on September 10.
This takes the police operation to 51 arrests since it began on August 1 with the mission to target recidivist offenders to address an increase in motor vehicle thefts and associated dangerous driving and other crimes in the ACT.
Police seized the stolen car, a grey Subaru Liberty, in Civic at about 9.30pm last night (September 23) bearing stolen number plates.
About 12.05am today the man and woman were arrested in a Civic hotel room.
The man will face charges of driving a motor vehicle without consent, riding in a motor vehicle without consent, attempted aggravated burglary, joint commission taking a motor vehicle without consent, joint commission minor theft, unlicensed driving, use of a number plate not properly issued and unlawful possession of stolen property.
The woman, who was on both bail and a good behaviour order, will answer to charges of joint commission taking a motor vehicle without consent, joint commission minor theft, driving a motor vehicle without consent, use of a number plate not properly issued and driving while licence cancelled.
